Betty Wright and Peggy Gracey fiddled with the Mylar balloon’s string, as they secured it to the little pine wagon filled with small colorful quilts individually, neatly packaged. “We have 15 kids here today,” said Wright, readying to roll the flag and pinwheel-adorned quilt-carrier, and its oversized first-anniversary balloon, into the pediatric unit of the Northeast Georgia Medical Center.
